Administration Bureau

The goal of the Administration Bureau is to streamline the delivery of services in four key areas: personnel, training, professional standards, and budget.

Personnel/Recruitment/Training Unit

Personnel Recruitment, and Training Unit's primary function is the recruitment and hiring of police department employees. The Recruitment Unit visits colleges and job fairs to look for qualified candidates to work at the Fairfield Police Department. The Training Unit provides State mandated training to police officers and support staff. The Personnel Unit hires employees to fill new positions or replace vacancies created through retirements and promotions.

Professional Standards Unit

The Professional Standards Unit (PSU) is directly responsible to and is supervised by the Administration Bureau Captain. PSU is staffed by one supervisor, whose job it is to keep management informed on matters pertaining to organizational ethics, conduct of police personnel, and incidents of possible civil liability. The unit is charged with: Investigating all citizen complaints alleging misconduct by police department personnel, conducting all internal administrative investigations, and auditing and tracking all police pursuits, use of force reports, and traffic collisions involving police department employees. The unit also acts as a liaison to the Citizen Audit Committee.
